The Principal Life Income Fundings
Trust designated above (the “Trust”), for value
received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or its
registered assigns, the Principal Amount specified above on the
Stated Maturity Date specified above and, if so specified above, to
pay interest thereon from the Original Issue Date specified above
or from the most recent Interest Payment Date specified above to
which interest has been paid or duly provided for at the rate per
annum determined in accordance with the provisions on the reverse
hereof and as specified above, until the principal hereof is paid
or made available for payment. Unless otherwise specified above,
payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest hereon will be
made in the lawful currency of the United States of America
(“U.S. Dollars” or “United States
dollars”). If the Specified
2
Currency
specified above is other than U.S. Dollars, the Holder (as defined
in the Indenture) shall receive such payments in such Foreign
Currency (as hereinafter defined). The “Principal
Amount” of this Note at any time means (1) if this Note
is a Discount Note (as hereinafter defined), the Amortized Face
Amount (as hereinafter defined) at such time (as defined in
Section 3(c) on the reverse hereof) and (2) in all
other cases, the Principal Amount hereof. Capitalized terms not
otherwise defined herein shall have their meanings set forth in the
Indenture, dated as of the date of the Pricing Supplement (the
“Indenture”), between Citibank, N.A., as the indenture
trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”), and the Trust, or on
the face hereof.
This Note will mature on the Stated
Maturity Date, unless its principal (or any installment of its
principal) becomes due and payable prior to the Stated Maturity
Date, whether, as applicable, by the declaration of acceleration of
maturity, notice of redemption by the Trust or otherwise (the
Stated Maturity Date or any date prior to the Stated Maturity Date
on which this Note becomes due and payable, as the case may be, is
referred to as the “Maturity Date”).
A “Discount Note” is any
Note that has an Issue Price that is less than 100% of the
Principal Amount thereof by a percentage that is equal to or
greater than 0.25% multiplied by the product of the principal
amount of the Notes and the number of full years to the Stated
Maturity Date.
Unless otherwise specified above, the
interest payable on each Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date
will be the amount of interest accrued from and including the
Original Issue Date or from and including the last Interest Payment
Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, as the
case may be, to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date or the
Maturity Date, as the case may be.
Unless otherwise specified above, the
interest payable on any Interest Payment Date will be paid to the
Holder on the Regular Record Date for such Interest Payment Date,
which Regular Record Date shall be the fifteenth (15th) calendar
day, whether or not a Business Day, immediately preceding the
related Interest Payment Date; provided that, notwithstanding any
provision of the Indenture to the contrary, interest payable on any
Maturity Date shall be payable to the Person to whom principal
shall be payable; and provided, further, that unless otherwise
specified above, in the case of a Note initially issued between a
Regular Record Date and the Interest Payment Date relating to such
Regular Record Date, interest for the period beginning on the
Original Issue Date and ending on such Interest Payment Date shall
be paid on the Interest Payment Date following the next succeeding
Regular Record Date to the Holder on such next succeeding Regular
Record Date.
Payments of principal of, and
premium, if any, and interest and other amounts due and owing, if
any, will be made through the Indenture Trustee to the account of
DTC or its nominee and will be made in accordance with depositary
arrangements with DTC.
Unless otherwise specified on the
face hereof, the Holder hereof will not be obligated to pay any
administrative costs imposed by banks in making payments in
immediately available funds by the Trust. Unless otherwise
specified on the face hereof, any tax assessment or governmental
charge imposed upon payments hereunder, including, without
limitation, any withholding tax, will be borne by the Holder
hereof.

REFERENCE IS HEREBY MADE TO THE
FURTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS NOTE SET FORTH ON THE REVERSE HEREOF.
SUCH FURTHER PROVISIONS SHALL FOR ALL PURPOSES HAVE THE SAME EFFECT
AS IF SET FORTH AT THIS PLACE.
Unless the certificate of
authentication hereon shall have been executed by the Indenture
Trustee pursuant to the Indenture, this Note shall not be entitled
to any benefit under such Indenture or be valid or obligatory for
any purpose.

[REVERSE FORM OF NOTE]
Section 1. General . This Note is
one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Trust. The Notes are
issued pursuant to the Indenture.
Section 2. Currency .
(a) Unless specified otherwise
on the face hereof, this Note is denominated in, and payments of
principal, premium, if any, and/or interest, if any, will be made
in U.S. Dollars. If specified as the Specified Currency, this Note
may be denominated in, and payments of principal, premium, if any,
and/or interest, if any, may be made in a single currency other
than U.S. Dollars (a “Foreign Currency”). If this Note
is denominated in a Foreign Currency, the Holder of this Note is
required to pay for this Note in the Specified Currency.
(b) Unless specified otherwise
on the face hereof, if this Note is denominated in a Foreign
Currency, the Trust is obligated to make payments of principal of,
and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on, this Note in the
Specified Currency. Any amounts so payable by the Trust in the
Specified Currency will be converted by the Exchange Rate Agent
into U.S. Dollars for payment to the Holder hereof unless otherwise
specified on the face of this Note or the Holder elects, in the
manner described below, to receive these amounts in the Specified
Currency. If this Note is denominated in a Foreign Currency, any
U.S. Dollar amount to be received by the Holder hereof will be
based on the highest bid quotation in The City of New York received
by the Exchange Rate Agent at approximately 11:00 A.M., New
York City time, on the second Business Day preceding the applicable
payment date from three recognized foreign exchange dealers (one of
whom may be the Exchange Rate Agent) selected by the Exchange Rate
Agent and approved by the Trust for the purchase by the quoting
dealer of the Specified Currency for U.S. Dollars for settlement on
that payment date in the aggregate amount of the Specified Currency
payable to all Holders of the Notes scheduled to receive U.S.
Dollar payments and at which the applicable dealer commits to
execute a contract. All currency exchange costs will be borne by
the Holders of the Notes by deductions from any payments. If three
bid quotations are not available, payments will be made in the
Specified Currency. If this Note is denominated in a Foreign
Currency, the Holder of this Note may elect to receive all or a
specified portion of any payment of principal, premium, if any,
and/or interest, if any, in the Specified Currency by submitting a
written request to the Indenture Trustee at its Corporate Trust
Office in The City of New York on or prior to the applicable
Regular Record Date or at least 15 calendar days prior to the
Maturity Date, as the case may be. This written request may be
mailed or hand delivered or sent by cable, telex or other form of
facsimile transmission. This election will remain in effect until
revoked by written notice delivered to the Indenture Trustee on or
prior to a Regular Record Date or at least 15 calendar days prior
to the Maturity Date, as the case may be. The Holder of a Note
denominated in a Foreign Currency to be held in the name of a
broker or nominee should contact their broker or nominee to
determine whether and how an election to receive payments in the
Specified Currency may be made. Unless specified otherwise on the
face hereof, if the Specified Currency is other than U.S. Dollars,
a beneficial owner of a Note represented by a global security which
elects to receive payments of principal, premium, if any, and/or
interest, if any, in the Specified Currency must notify the
participant through which it owns its interest on or prior to the
applicable Regular Record Date or at least 15 calendar days prior
to the Maturity
6
Date, as
the case may be, of its election. The applicable participant must
notify DTC of its election on or prior to the third Business Day
after the applicable Regular Record Date or at least 12 calendar
days prior to the Maturity Date, as the case may be, and DTC will
notify the Indenture Trustee of that election on or prior to the
fifth Business Day after the applicable Regular Record Date or at
least ten calendar days prior the Maturity Date, as the case may
be. If complete instructions are received by the participant from
the applicable beneficial owner and forwarded by the participant to
DTC, and by DTC to the Indenture Trustee, on or prior to such
dates, then the applicable beneficial owner will receive payments
in the Specified Currency.
(c) The Trust will indemnify the
Holder hereof against any loss incurred as a result of any judgment
or order being given or made for any amount due under this Note and
that judgment or order requiring payment in a currency (the
“Judgment Currency”) other than the Specified Currency,
and as a result of any variation between: (i) the rate of
exchange at which the Specified Currency amount is converted into
the Judgment Currency for the purpose of that judgment or order;
and (ii) the rate of exchange at which the Holder, on the date
of payment of that judgment or order, is able to purchase the
Specified Currency with the amount of the Judgment Currency
actually received.
(d) Unless otherwise specified
on the face hereof, if payment hereon is required to be made in a
Foreign Currency and such currency is unavailable due to the
imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the
Trust’s control, then the Trust will be entitled to make
payments with respect hereto in U.S. Dollars on the basis of the
Market Exchange Rate (as hereinafter defined), computed by the
Exchange Rate Agent, on the second Business Day prior to the
particular payment or, if the Market Exchange Rate is not then
available, on the basis of the most recently available Market
Exchange Rate.
(e) The “Market Exchange
Rate” for the Foreign Currency shall mean the noon dollar
buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers for the
Foreign Currency as certified for customs purposes (or, if not so
certified, as otherwise determined) by the Federal Reserve Bank of
New York.
(f) All determinations made by
the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at its sole discretion and shall,
in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes
and binding on the Holder hereof.
(g) All costs of exchange in
respect of this Note, if denominated in a Foreign Currency, will be
borne by the Holder hereof.

required payment of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest or
other amounts on the next succeeding Business Day, and no
additional interest will accrue in respect of the payment made on
that next succeeding Business Day.
(b) Floating Rate Notes. If this Note is specified on the face
hereof as a “Floating Rate Note”:
(i) Interest Rate Basis. Interest on this Note will be
determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis or
Interest Rate Bases, which may, as described below, include the CD
Rate, the CMT Rate, the Commercial Paper Rate, the Constant
Maturity Swap Rate; the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate, the
Federal Funds Open Rate, the Federal Funds Rate, LIBOR, EURIBOR,
the Prime Rate or the Treasury Rate (each as defined below).
(ii) Effective Rate. The rate derived from the applicable
Interest Rate Basis or Interest Rate Bases will be determined in
accordance with the related provisions below. The interest rate in
effect on each day will be based on: (1) if that day is an
Interest Reset Date, the rate determined as of the Interest
Determination Date immediately preceding that Interest Reset Date;
or (2) if that day is not an Interest Reset Date, the rate
determined as of the Interest Determination Date immediately
preceding the most recent Interest Reset Date.
(iii) Spread; Spread Multiplier; Index Maturity. The
“Spread” is the number of basis points (one
one-hundredth of a percentage point) specified on the face hereof
to be added to or subtracted from the related Interest Rate Basis
or Interest Rate Bases applicable to this Note. The “Spread
Multiplier” is the percentage specified on the face hereof of
the related Interest Rate Basis or Interest Rate Bases applicable
to this Note by which the Interest Rate Basis or Interest Rate
Bases will be multiplied to determine the applicable interest rate.
The “Index Maturity” is the period to maturity of
the
8
instrument or
obligation with respect to which the related Interest Rate Basis or
Interest Rate Bases will be calculated.
(iv) Regular
Floating Rate Note . Unless this Note is specified on the face
hereof as a Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Note or an Inverse Floating
Rate Note, this Note (a “Regular Floating Rate Note”)
will bear interest at the rate determined by reference to the
applicable Interest Rate Basis or Interest Rate Bases:
(1) plus or minus the applicable Spread, if any; and/or (2)
multiplied by the applicable Spread Multiplier, if any. Commencing
on the first Interest Reset Date, the rate at which interest on
this Regular Floating Rate Note is payable will be reset as of each
Interest Reset Date; provided, however, that the interest rate in
effect for the period, if any, from the Original Issue Date to the
first Interest Reset Date will be the Initial Interest Rate.
(v) Floating
Rate/Fixed Rate Notes . If this Note is specified on the face
hereof as a “Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Note”, this Note
will bear interest at the rate determined by reference to the
applicable Interest Rate Basis or Interest Rate Bases:
(1) plus or minus the applicable Spread, if any; and/or
(2) multiplied by the applicable Spread Multiplier, if any.
Commencing on the first Interest Reset Date, the rate at which this
Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Note is payable will be reset as of each
Interest Reset Date; provided, however, that: (A) the interest
rate in effect for the period, if any, from the Original Issue Date
to the first Interest Reset Date will be the Initial Interest Rate
specified on the face hereof; and (B) the interest rate in
effect commencing on the Fixed Rate Commencement Date will be the
Fixed Interest Rate, if specified on the face hereof, or, if not so
specified, the interest rate in effect on the day immediately
preceding the Fixed Rate Commencement Date.
(vi) Inverse
Floating Rate Notes . If this Note is specified on the face
hereof as an “Inverse Floating Rate Note”, this Note
will bear interest at the Fixed Interest Rate minus the rate
determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis or
Interest Rate Bases: (1) plus or minus the applicable Spread, if
any; and/or (2) multiplied by the applicable Spread
Multiplier, if any; provided, however, that interest on this
Inverse Floating Rate Note will not be less than zero. Commencing
on the first Interest Reset Date, the rate at which interest on
this Inverse Floating Rate Note is payable will be reset as of each
Interest Reset Date; provided, however, that the interest rate in
effect for the period, if any, from the Original Issue Date to the
first Interest Reset Date will be the Initial Interest Rate.
(vii)
Interest Reset Dates . The period between Interest Reset
Dates will be the “Interest Reset Period.” Unless
otherwise specified on the face hereof, the Interest Reset Dates
will be, in the case of this Floating Rate Note if by its terms it
resets: (1) daily—each business day;
(2) weekly—the Wednesday of each week, with the
exception of any weekly reset Floating Rate Note as to which the
Treasury Rate is an applicable Interest Rate Basis, which will
reset the Tuesday of each week; (3) monthly—the
fifteenth day of each calendar month, with the exception of any
monthly reset Floating Rate Note as to which the Eleventh District
Cost of Funds Rate is an applicable Interest Rate Basis, which will
reset on the first calendar day of the month;
(4) quarterly—the fifteenth day of March, June,
September and December of each year;
(5) semi-annually—the fifteenth day of the two months of
each year specified on the face hereof; and
(6) annually—the fifteenth day of the month of each year
specified on the
9
face hereof;
provided, however, that, with respect to a Floating Rate/Fixed Rate
Note, the rate of interest thereon will not reset after the
particular Fixed Rate Commencement Date. If any Interest Reset Date
for this Floating Rate Note would otherwise be a day that is not a
Business Day, the particular Interest Reset Date will be postponed
to the next succeeding Business Day, except that in the case of a
Floating Rate Note as to which LIBOR is an applicable Interest Rate
Basis and that Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar
month, the particular Interest Reset Date will be the immediately
preceding Business Day.
(viii)
Interest Determination Dates . The interest rate applicable
to a Floating Rate Note for an Interest Reset Period commencing on
the related Interest Reset Date will be determined by reference to
the applicable Interest Rate Basis as of the particular
“Interest Determination Date”, which will be:
(1) with respect to the Federal Funds Open Rate—the
related Interest Reset Date; (2) with respect to the Federal
Funds Rate and the Prime Rate—the Business Day immediately
preceding the related Interest Reset Date; (3) with respect to
the CD Rate, the Commercial Paper Rate and the CMT Rate—the
second Business Day preceding the related Interest Reset Date;
(4) with respect to the Constant Maturity Swap Rate—the
second U.S. Government Securities business day preceding the
related Interest Reset Date, provided, however, that if after
attempting to determine the Constant Maturity Swap Rate, such rate
is not determinable for a particular Interest Determination Date,
then such Interest Determination Date shall be the first U.S.
Government Securities business day preceding the original interest
determination date for which the Constant Maturity Swap Rate can be
determined; (5) with respect to the Eleventh District Cost of
Funds Rate—the last working day of the month immediately
preceding the related Interest Reset Date on which the Federal Home
Loan Bank of San Francisco publishes the Eleventh District Index
(as defined below); (6) with respect to LIBOR and
EURIBOR—the second London Banking Day (as defined below)
preceding the related Interest Reset Date; and (7) with
respect to the Treasury Rate—the day of the week in which the
related Interest Reset Date falls on which day Treasury Bills (as
defined below) are normally auctioned (i.e., Treasury Bills are
normally sold at auction on Monday of each week, unless that day is
a legal holiday, in which case the auction is normally held on the
following Tuesday, except that the auction may be held on the
preceding Friday); provided, however, that if an auction is held on
the Friday of the week preceding the related Interest Reset Date,
the Interest Determination Date will be the preceding Friday. The
Interest Determination Date pertaining to a Floating Rate Note, the
interest rate of which is determined with reference to two or more
Interest Rate Bases, will be the latest Business Day which is at
least two Business Days before the related Interest Reset Date for
the applicable Floating Rate Note on which each Interest Reset
Basis is determinable. “London Banking Day” means a day
on which commercial banks are open for business (including dealings
in the LIBOR Currency) in London.
(ix)
Calculation Dates . The interest rate applicable to each
Interest Reset Period will be determined by the Calculation Agent
on or prior to the Calculation Date (as defined below), except with
respect to LIBOR, EURIBOR and the Eleventh District Cost of Funds
Rate, which will be determined on the particular Interest
Determination Date. Upon request of the Holder of a Floating Rate
Note, the Calculation Agent will disclose the interest rate then in
effect and, if determined, the interest rate that will become
effective as a result of a determination made for the next
succeeding Interest Reset Date with respect to such Floating
10
Rate Note. The
“Calculation Date”, if applicable, pertaining to any
Interest Determination Date will be the earlier of: (1) the
tenth calendar day after the particular Interest Determination Date
or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business
Day; or (2) the Business Day immediately preceding the
applicable Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case
may be.
(x) Maximum
or Minimum Interest Rate . If specified on the face hereof,
this Note may have either or both of a Maximum Interest Rate or a
Minimum Interest Rate. If a Maximum Interest Rate is so designated,
the interest rate for a Floating Rate Note cannot ever exceed such
Maximum Interest Rate and in the event that the interest rate on
any Interest Reset Date would exceed such Maximum Interest Rate (as
if no Maximum Interest Rate were in effect) then the interest rate
on such Interest Reset Date shall be the Maximum Interest Rate. If
a Minimum Interest Rate is so designated, the interest rate for a
Floating Rate Note cannot ever be less than such Minimum Interest
Rate and in the event that the interest rate on any Interest Reset
Date would be less than such Minimum Interest Rate (as if no
Minimum Interest Rate were in effect) then the interest rate on
such Interest Reset Date shall be the Minimum Interest Rate.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
interest rate on a Floating Rate Note shall not exceed the maximum
interest rate permitted by applicable law.
(xi)
Interest Payments . Unless otherwise specified on the face
hereof, the Interest Payment Dates will be, in the case of a
Floating Rate Note which resets: (1) daily, weekly or
monthly—the fifteenth day of each calendar month or on the
fifteenth day of March, June, September and December of each year,
as specified on the face hereof; (2) quarterly—the
fifteenth day of March, June, September and December of each year;
(3) semi-annually—the fifteenth day of the two months of
each year specified on the face hereof; and
(4) annually—the fifteenth day of the month of each year
as specified on the face hereof. In addition, the Maturity Date
will also be an Interest Payment Date. If any Interest Payment Date
other than the Maturity Date for this Floating Rate Note would
otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest
Payment Date will be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day,
except that in the case of a Floating Rate Note as to which LIBOR
is an applicable Interest Rate Basis and that Business Day falls in
the next succeeding calendar month, the particular Interest Payment
Date will be the immediately preceding Business Day. If the
Maturity Date of a Floating Rate Note falls on a day that is not a
Business Day, the Trust will make the required payment of
principal, premium, if any, and interest or other amounts on the
next succeeding Business Day, and no additional interest will
accrue in respect of the payment made on that next succeeding
Business Day.
(xii)
Rounding . Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof,
all percentages resulting from any calculation on this Floating
Rate Note will be rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of
a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point
rounded upwards. All dollar amounts used in or resulting from any
calculation on this Floating Rate Note will be rounded, in the case
of U.S. Dollars, to the nearest cent or, in the case of a Foreign
Currency, to the nearest unit (with one-half cent or unit being
rounded upwards).
(xiii)
Interest Factor . With respect to this Floating Rate Note,
accrued interest is calculated by multiplying the principal amount
of such Note by an accrued interest factor. The accrued
11
interest factor
is computed by adding the interest factor calculated for each day
in the particular Interest Reset Period. The interest factor for
each day will be computed by dividing the interest rate applicable
to such day by 360, in the case of a Floating Rate Note as to which
the CD Rate, the Commercial Paper Rate, the Eleventh District Cost
of Funds Rate, the Federal Funds Open Rate, the Federal Funds Rate,
LIBOR, EURIBOR or the Prime Rate is an applicable Interest Rate
Basis, or by the actual number of days in the year, in the case of
a Floating Rate Note as to which the CMT Rate or the Treasury Rate
is an applicable Interest Rate Basis. In the case of a series of
Notes that bear interest at floating rates as to which the Constant
Maturity Swap Rate is the Interest Rate Basis, the interest factor
for each day will be computed by dividing the number of days in the
interest period by 360 (the number of days to be calculated on the
base is of a year of 360 days with twelve 30-day months
(unless (i) the last day of the interest period is the 31st
day of a month but the first day of the interest period is a day
other than the 30th or 31st day of a month, in which case the month
that includes that last day shall not be considered to be shortened
to a 30-day month, or (ii) the last day of the interest period
is the last day of the month of February, in which case the month
of February shall not be considered to be lengthened to a 30-day
month)). The interest factor for a Floating Rate Note as to which
the interest rate is calculated with reference to two or more
Interest Rate Bases will be calculated in each period in the same
manner as if only the applicable Interest Rate Basis specified
above applied.
(xiv)
